That's how strict democracy works, and that's also why no successful nation on Earth employs a strict democratic system.
If the majority gets to decide what's banned, atheists are fucked. In America, if the majority got to decide, we'd still have different water fountains and schools for black people.
It would still be illegal to be gay in most parts of the American South. Segregated housing would still be more rampant than it is in the major cities and the south.
I think we'll be fine, SC. And times change - so do systems of government. I don't believe strict democracy will be a problem in the future, but that's only once we'll educate virtually everyone.
